Year 6 pupils explored John Singer Sargent’s powerful painting Gassed by recreating the scene through tableau. This activity enabled the children to experience the human side of the artwork, helping them to reflect on what it might feel like to be blinded, supported, led and healed, and to understand the vital importance of companionship and care.
Following the practical activity, the children shared thoughtful discussions about their feelings and reflections while recreating the painting.
